Psalm 62

The end of psalm 62 leaves us with two permanent principles of God's nature. First that he is strong. If king David wrote this psalm he knew a lot about strength. He knew it was necessary in battle. And victory would go to those whose strength did not wane. David had learned that unlike the men around him God's strength was endless. Second was God's nature of love. Our culture seldom connects these two qualities and would never equate them. Yet every person in the world yearns for a leader who is as loving as he is strong. Many kingdoms have been created through strength but none of them will stand without love for others. That is where God and his kingdom stands in the sharpest contrast with the world.
